A Pirates Life for Me

Sometimes one picture says it all.  Fat Tony has placed good ol Captain Jack Sparrow in a position he can’t help but be happy about.  Be sure to check the Pirate forum for the big picture.

moc pirates rocks techniques birds waves bluecoats branches stones legs fishing battle

These pirates don't have a lucky day.

This MOC may be small, but our new member “LL”  has put some clever new techniques in it, and that’s why it gets a well-deserved spot on the blog. The arm legs give the minifigs a funny and active look, and things like the waves, the branch and the shooting effect are great as well. Feel free to have a look and to welcome this new member.

...and this is only one of the three new MOCs!

Yes, you’ll hear more about the Pirates LEGO contest very soon, but first there is something else that needs to get attention. Eurobricks member ZCerberus has posted a new update (the last one was in August 2010) of his massive Fort Brighton East, with some very nice buildings. That makes the MOC not only a Fort, but a complete town!

Bar Pirates by Captain Spaulding

moc pirates bar scene funny pub party legos r2d2 frankenstein joda admiral captain

They seem to be having a good time!

Although there aren’t many ‘real’ pirates in this MOC, it’s very piraty. It’s a pub scene, and even the non-pirates all have some piratical features. There’s a lot of funny action going on, and famous persons like Frankenstein and R2D2 are also present. Time to have a good laugh and check out the interesting techniques and minifig-MODs.

A well-defended fortress.

A new and impressive fortress has been made by Eurobricks member Bjornu. It sure pays honour to the Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter, with a harbour, cannons and strong walls. And it’s filled with soldiers!

Review: 30131 Jack Sparrow in Boat

For those of you who live in the UK, or with deep pockets, the News of the World brings us a free Lego Pirates of the Caribbean polybag set.  Although very simple, you get Jack Sparrow a fine glass bottle and his tiny boat.  One thing to note though is Jack’s hat, which is only available in the $50+ sets so this is a great way to grab it free.

Ship-of-the-Line Under Construction by Dread Pirate Wesley

Can you imagine a complete ship in this style?

An impressive third rate man of war is in the make by Eurobricks member Dread Pirate Wesley. It will be built on a brickbuilt hull, with much attention to detail and historical accuracy, but also enough room for personal taste. The prototype of the bow has already been built, and it doesn’t look bad at all.

A beautiful fantasy-castle.

Our News Scout TazManiac has found a great MOC again, and this time we’re honoured because the creator of the MOC immediately joined our forums. No Pirates or Imperials this time, but a wonderful castle filled with the most brilliant details!

Brig “Apollo” by Corioso

brig ship pirates sails vessel cannons shooting musketeers minifigs figurehead capstan anchor

A good vessel, with enough cannons, musketeers and food on board!

Without too much babbling, Eurobricks member Corioso shows us his fantastic first attempt of making a LEGO ship. According to his own words it’s a ship in ‘lite LEGO style’. Whatever it is, it’s full of great techniques and it also has an appealing colourscheme. Another great feature is the army of musketeers patrolling on the decks.
